However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself –and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,”said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say i f they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”1. Margaret quit her job as a nurse because____.A. she wanted to earn more money to support her familyB. she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC. she needed the right time to look after her childrenD. she felt tired of taking care of patients2.Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because_________.A. they never clean their officesB. they look down upon cleanersC. they never do their work carefullyD. they always make a mess in their offices3.When at work, Margaret feels_________.A. light-hearted because of her fellow workersB. happy because the building is fully litC. tired because of the heavy workloadD. bored because time passes slowly4.The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would _________.A. help care for her childrenB. regret what they had saidC. show sympathy for herD. feel disappointed in herBFor years we have been told that encouraging a child’s self-respect in important to his or her success in life .But child expert are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect . Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car .The implication （含义）of saying “You are the prettiest girl in class ,” or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort ,is that you love her only when she looks the best ,scores the highest , achieves the most . And this carries over to the classroom .Social psychologist Carol Dweck , PhD, tested the effects of overpraise on 400 fifth graders while she was at Columbia University . She found that kids praised for “trying bard ” did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being “smart ”.Praising attributes (品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you .have that quality , and it devalues effort , so children are afraid to take on challenges ,”says D weck , now at Stanford University . “They figure they’d better quit while they’re ahead .”5. The underlined words “Praise –ah olic kids” refer to kids who are .A. tired of being praisedB. worthy of being praisedC. very proud of being praisedD. extremely fond of being praised6. The author quoted (引用) Dr. Dwec k’s words in the last paragraph in order to make the article.A. better-knownB. better-organizedC. more persuasiveD. more interesting7. We can infer from the passage that.A.praise for efforts should be more encouragedB.praise for results works better than praise for effortsC. praising a child＇s achievements benefits his or her success in lifeD. praising a child’s abilities him or her to take on challenges。
